Cody told me a couple weeks ago that, "Seb gets his finicky eating habits from one of his parents, and it's not you." Fortunately, he is expanding his horizons beyond bananas and oatmeal, and I've made a list of the few things that Sebastian will eat without fail (usually). He now has two dependable sources of protein, people! Oh and this week I could hardly keep him away from the yogurt. I know he needs the calcium because he refuses to drink milk, but three bowls a day, Seb? We've also recently run into a new challenge. He thinks he's entitled to a look-over of the contents of the fridge before eating anything... (yah). This is particularly difficult because I think he is certain there is some magical, tasty food that we're not telling him about, but are hiding in the fridge, like...

We are having a hard time with getting Evie to drink milk - we've just been doing a lot of yogurt and cheeses - is that what you've done too?? I'm wondering how crucial milk is...? Fruit is a winner with Evie. As is toast (something I've been eating a lot of!). She's also a big chicken fan. - Jen Mortier

My kid can be a bit fussy, she'd happily eat a honey sandwich (on rice mountain bread with tons of butter) for every meal! I have to restrict her to only one per day. We couldn't live without eggs, served every way, but recently she's started properly chewing and swallowing poached chicken which sadly makes me happier than it probably should. Kellie xx PS have you tried him on roast pumpkin? That's also a big winner in our house.

Jen, i think if she's eating yogurt and cheese she should be just fine. seb won't eat cheese for some reason either, but at least he's always begging for yogurt! our ped told me to make sure that any dairy i feed him is full fat, though.

kellie, thanks for your comment! i'm so glad you dropped by. aren't eggs a lifesaver? i haven't tried roast pumpking, but it sounds delicious! i always try at least to make him foods that i would want to eat, too, as i often have to finish it off! thanks for the suggestion.
